Over a year ago I participated in the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598272670/chip-the-worlds-first-9-computer/description">kickstarter campaign</a> for “CHIP - The World’s First Nine Dollar Computer” by <a href="https://www.nextthing.co/">Next Thing Co.</a>. I went for the PocketCHIP because of the idea. Display, built-in storage (thus no need for SD cards), battery-powered, and a keyboard are pretty nice features. Last week a package arrives…</p>

In the past month I was thinking about ways to integrate USB webcams into Home Assistant again. The main reason was that this would give those devices a second life and enable one to benefit from low-cost video surveillance. There are a couple of options available like <a href="http://www.pygame.org/hifi.html">pygame</a> or <a href="http://www.simplecv.org/">SimpleCV</a> but I never finished something. With the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/camera.local_file/">Local File camera platform</a> by <a href="https://github.com/Landrash">Landrash</a> and <a href="http://lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome">motion</a> you could integrate a local USB webcam with a few very easy steps.</p>
<p>In this blog post I am using a Fedora 24 (will most likely work on other distributions too) installation with Home Assistant 0.22.1 on a Foxconn nT-330i with an old <a href="http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/quickcam-sphere-af">Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF</a> and a <a href="http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/hd-webcam-c270">Logitech HD Webcam C270</a>. As a start only the Quickcam is used. No multi-camera setup for now.</p>

<p>We are always hard at work at the virtual Home Assistant headquarters to make it easier for you to get started with Home Assistant. That’s why <a href="https://github.com/jbags81">@jbags81</a> recently introduced the <a href="/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi-all-in-one/">all-in-one installer</a>. It allows you to get up and running with a complete Home Assistant setup by entering one line of code into your Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Jessie:</p>

<p>This feature wouldn’t be complete if it wasn’t accompanied by a new video by Ben from <a href="http://www.bruhautomation.com">BRUH Automation</a>. The video shows how to install Raspbian Jessie on your Raspberry Pi and use the new installation script to get a full Home Assistant system up and running.</p>

<h3>Breaking changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>We have migrated our datetime format to be iso8601. This will only impact you if you are consuming the date times from the API directly. You can ignore this if you are just using Home Assistant via configuration and the frontend.</li>
<li>The constant <code>TEMP_CELCIUS</code> is now correctly called <code>TEMP_CELSIUS</code>. Old one is deprecated and will eventually be removed.</li>
<li>The location of the Docker image has changed. There was no possibility for us to keep maintaining the old image (as it was bound to the GitHub repo under my name) or to make a redirect. So if you are using the Home Assistant Docker image, change it to run <code>homeassistant/home-assistant:latest</code> for the latest release and <code>homeassistant/home-assistant:dev</code> for the latest dev version.</li>

<li>MySensors received two big changes that will cause you to update your configs. See <a href="/components/mysensors/">component page</a> for new example config.
<ol>
<li>All MySensors entity IDs are different! There was an error in the naming that caused MySensors to append node ID and child ID instead of separating them with an underscore. This has been fixed but will cause all your MySensors entity IDs to change. This is a one time breaking change.</li>
<li>The second change is that we now support the TCP ethernet gateway. This is causing a slight change to the config format: you have to change <code>port:</code> under <code>gateways</code> to <code>device:</code>.</li>

Just add <code>mqtt:</code> to your config and a broker is launched and connected with Home Assistant. See the <a href="/components/mqtt/#use-the-embedded-broker">documentation</a> for more info.</p>

In this tutorial I will explain how you can activate Tasker tasks from Home Assistant command line switches. We are going to set up a switch that when toggled will make your Android device say either “On” or “Off”.</p>
<p>You could also do this with the automation component instead so whenever you put your house to sleep mode for example your Android device will open up Google Play Books or the Kindle app ready for you to read as well as dimming your lights, but this tutorial is all about the switches.</p>

<p>It’s time for the August release and there is some serious good stuff this time. The core of Home Assistant has gone some serious clean up and a bump in test coverage thanks to <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. If you’re a developer, make sure you read up on <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/251">the deprecation notices</a>. <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> did another great round of documentating all the various components.</p>
<p><strong>MQTT Support</strong><br />
<p><strong>MQTT Support</strong>
<img src="/images/supported_brands/mqtt.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> The big new addition in this release is the support for the MQTT protocol by <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">@fabaff</a> with some help from <a href="https://github.com/balloob">@balloob</a>. It will now be possible to integrate any IoT device that talks via MQTT. For the initial release we support connecting Home Assistant to a broker (no TLS yet). Components can now subscribe and publish to MQTT topics (<a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/config/custom_components/mqtt_example.py">see the example</a>) and also support for the automation component <a href="/getting-started/automation-trigger/#mqtt-trigger">has been added</a>. For more information, see <a href="/components/mqtt/">the MQTT component page</a>.</p>

<p>This release includes some architectural changes by me. The first is that the frontend is now based on a <a href="http://optimizely.github.io/nuclear-js/">NuclearJS</a> JavaScript backend. This has greatly helped to organize and optimize the frontend code. Another change is that Home Assistant will now install dependencies on-demand instead of installing dependencies for all supported devices.</p>
<p><strong>IP Camera Support</strong><br />
<p><strong>IP Camera Support</strong>
James has worked very hard to add support for IP cameras to Home Assistant which is included in this release. The initial release focusses on providing generic IP camera support. This means that any webcam that can exposes a JPEG image via a url can be integrated.</p>
<p>Home Assistant will route the requests to your camera via the server allowing you to expose IP camera’s inside your network via the Home Assistant app.</p>

<p>I have recently merged code to refactor Home Assistant to use only UTC times internally. A much needed refactor. I’ve added some extra test coverage to time sensitive parts to ensure stability. The code has been live in the dev branch for the last 9 days and will be soon released to the master branch.</p>
<p>From now on all internal communication will be done in UTC: time changed events, datetime attributes of states, etc. To get the current time in UTC you can call <code>homeassistant.util.dt.utcnow()</code>. This is a timezone aware UTC datetime object. <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/util/dt.py"><code>homeassistant.util.dt</code></a> is a new util package with date helpers.</p>

<h3>Setting up your time zone</h3>

You can find a list of compatible time zones on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones">Wikipedia</a>.</p>

<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>The changes to the code are mostly backwards compatible. The old <code>hass.track_time_change</code> and <code>hass.track_point_in_time</code> use now internally two new methods: <code>hass.track_utc_time_change</code> and <code>hass.track_point_in_utc_time</code>. The usage of the old methods have not changed and should be backwards compatible.</p>

The usage of the old methods have not changed and should be backwards compatible.</p>
<p>This refactor adds a new migration for the database adding a <code>utc_offset</code> column to events and states. This information is currently not used but can prove useful in the future when we start analyzing the historical data.</p>

<p><strong>Experimental Z-Wave support</strong><br /><br />
<p><strong>Experimental Z-Wave support</strong><br />
There is now experimental support for connecting Z-Wave networks using a Z-Wave USB stick. Right now it only integrates Z-Wave sensors into Home Assistant. Our goal is to get this tested by more people before adding support for other Z-Wave devices.</p>
<p>The new component is built on top of <a href="https://code.google.com/p/python-openzwave/">python-openzwave</a>. This package is currently not distributed on PyPi so we’ve added a script <code>scripts/build_python_openzwave</code> to install it on your machine. Alternatively you can use the Docker image which is ready to go.</p>

<p><strong>Voice control</strong><br /><br />
<p><strong>Voice control</strong><br />
An initial version of voice control for Home Assistant has landed. The current implementation consists of two parts.</p>
<p>The first part is a component called <code>conversation</code> that exposes the service <code>conversation/process</code>. This service is capable of processing text and translating them into commands for devices. For now it will only support commands in the format of <code>Turn &lt;Friendly Name&gt; &lt;on/off&gt;</code>.</p>

This refers to a new generation of devices that cannot only be controlled by humans via buttons or remotes but also provide an interface to communicate with other devices and applications. For example, an IoT-capable coffee machine could receive commands to create different types of coffee and be able to broadcast the amount of water left in its resevoir.</p>
